WINNIPEG – One person has suffered “significant injuries” after a house exploded in Winnipeg late Friday.

A statement from the city says fire crews found the bungalow on Selkirk Ave. was heavily damaged when they arrived, with a strong smell of gas coming from it.

The statement says one person was inside the house at the time of the explosion and was transported to hospital in unstable condition.

No other injuries were reported.

Five neighbouring houses were temporarily evacuated as a precaution, but the residents were later allowed back.

The explosion remains under investigation.
